Woodbridge - On Thursday morning Ryan was released from the hospital and sent home. He was absolutely exstatic (as were Mommy and Daddy). He had a nice bath, put on some monkey pjs and sat back to watch some TV.

Fairfax - On Tuesday Ryan was upgraded from the PICU to Intermediate Care and began drinking from the bottle. On Wednesday the feeding tube was removed and he was weaned off oxygen. If he maintains good respitory numbers for 24 hours without oxygen then he can go home. He receives respitory treatment every 4 hours. He is feeling much better and starting to act more like himself.

Woodbridge - Mommy and Daddy got a new camera, so ryan had to be the guinea pig for all the new pictures. Ryan will either be blind by the time he is one, a total ham or he will hate to have his picture taken.

Woodbridge - On Friday night, Ryan's friend Jimmy (Lil Fish) came to his house so many of their friends could come meet them for the first time. He was very excited to meet many of the BTA and looks forward to meeting more.

Woodbridge - Ryan is always giving Mommy and Daddy what they call the pirate look. Because of this, they decided to get him a pirate outfit. Before to long, Ryan will be up and about in swashbuckling adventures.

Woodbridge - Ryan is now giving Mommy between 30-45 minutes if he can swing. He started out really liking the swing, then really hated it, but now he loves it. He can't seem to stay awake for more than a few minutes. Also, Mommy has to keep readjusting his head because it flops over when he falls asleep.

Woodbridge - Last weekend Mommy and Daddy bought Ryan a new book. For short periods, Ryan likes looking at the pictures. Mommy has been trying to teach him what each picture is. His favorite so far is the car.

Woodbridge - Ryan was perusing the movie library trying to decide what movies he would like to start watching. Should he go for a Disney flick...maybe Fox and the Hound or Nemo? Maybe he should watch a funny movie such as Ghostbusters or Goonies. Or, should he make Daddy proud and start on Star Wars?

Woodbridge - On Monday Woodbridge was hit with about 6 inches of snow. Eventhough Ryan was born on a very snowy Wednesday, this was his first experience with snowfall. He wasn't really sure what to think when the snow was blowing in his face. It might have something to do with the big coat that Mommy put on him. Maybe next year he can help Daddy do some of the shoveling.
